aah! winter white. swoon.

There's something so fresh, so refreshing about pure-as-the-driven-snow white. I've been loving it in fashion. I discovered this image at "for the love of pretty." ...now I'm on the look-out for all the elements to re-create the look. ﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿

I also love white in holiday decor. I recently met the talented, down-to-earth + uber cool blogger "the nester" ... She had an inspiring post this past week about making your own Anthropologie-esque winter white wreath. See the how-to details here. And check-out the finished product (don't forget to go to her original link to pin this image)...

I did a much more simplistic version (see how-to tips for paper snowflake-making via martha)...

As I styled my window of hand-made paper snowflakes, I thought of the nester's mantra, "it doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful." Sometimes it's the imperfections, the randomness that makes our home projects pretty. Enjoy today. Look for the beauty in the every-day.

How's your December? I hope you're enjoying the simple pleasures of the season.We were able to get our fresh tree this past weekend. Oh how I love the smell of pine + the look of twinkly lights. I thought I'd share a few photos with you as the decorating process continues...﻿﻿﻿

...One of my favorite things about holiday decorating is pulling out the old holiday photo cards to see how much the girls have grown-up...﻿﻿﻿﻿
